My Sober Thing

08/24/2023

One thing about addiction AND sobriety that I have learned quite thoroughly is this specific thing right here. Real- True- GOOD relationships don’t magically happen, they take a lot of time, sweat, tears, dedication and heard work from both partners to make it work. And when I say make it work, no I’m not talking about “settling” or “forcing something” I’m simply talking about being human and admitting that not everything will perfectly fall into place. Real, mature love takes work and two adults to do it. That’s something that unfortunately doesn’t come while you are in the midst of your addictions for the most part, and if it does you are one of the very lucky few who found their saving light in their literal darkness. If you have that someone, and they treat you like you’ve never dreamed of being treated before by anyone else, then hang on to them tightly because baby I promise you there more then likely won’t be another like them. Thats my little tidbit for now 😘🥰 have a lovely day guys

I am so happy that you made it to my blog! I imagine that you more then likely did a little clicking around before getting to this point, but just in case you didn’t I will begin the introduction to my new blog “Let’s Love Sobriety”. The idea to build a website and create a blog based on my experiences in my first year of sobriety is not a new idea....

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my page :3 It makes me so excited to say that I am officially beginning a new Recovery Blog. I hope that my knowledge and experience can help you feel at ease in your own journey towards recovery. I will admit that I have never been one to really enjoy meetings as I have social anxiety, but after rehab I learned a few tricks that really helped me get through this first initial year of my sobriety.

So take your time, it’s about the journey, not the destination. Take what you need and apply it to your own situation- as my mentor once said: “Knowledge is useless, but applied knowledge is power” meaning you can know everything there is to know about something yet if you don’t USE that knowledge and APPLY it to the problem, you will continue to get the same results. I thank my mentor, the Great Casey Muse, for teaching me this while I was at Cenikor as it really helped me in more things then just my recovery issues.

If you ever need someone to talk to about what you may be struggling with- please message me or email me and I will get to you as soon as I can. I know that it is really difficult to reach out and to humble yourself in front of another person. Especially when it comes to telling your story. I didn’t talk to anyone except the people I was using with about things going through my mind, but when I got sober the first go round I found that blogging really helped me process the things I didn’t know how to say.

This time I have the combination of rehab+my experiences which has really pushed me further then I have ever been. I believe in you and your ability to stay clean and sober. I also understand sometimes you will fall, but just know that it is okay to not beat yourself up- instead give yourself a day to pamper yourself. However that may look to you, whether it be a day in the woods enjoying nature, listening to your music while relaxing in the house, watching your favorite shows/movies with your family/friends, or even simply sleeping all day- DO IT. Because giving yourself a mental break to really enjoy simply being alive can often shine light on things that will help you cope in the beginning, middle and throughout your recovery. These will be the things that can help distract you from wanting to use or drink once more- no they aren’t foolproof, but they work.

An important rule of thumb is to distract yourself for at least 15 minutes that will need your complete focus whenever you have an urge to use and then do a quick check to see how you feel. Most of the time this will help you move “past” the urge to use.
